Having a Legisy Life


Having a Legacy Life

As we travel we are seeing those who leave a legacy, Daniel Boone, George Washington, Robert E Lee, Abraham Lincoln, Paul Reever , the wright Brothers, John Wilks Booth,  Sam Huston, Irving Berlin,   These are some of those who a legacy, Good or Bad, a legacy none the less, Places Like The Alamo, Ellis Island, Eiffel Tower, Handel’s Messiah,  The Star Spangled Banner, Mona Lisa, Many more thast would take up this blog to many pages, The Legacy My Parents, You Parents, Each Left a Legacy, Each had an effect on my life, as yours did you,

As I see these many landmarks, I wonder, Did I truly leave a good mark on life, Does not have to be the Mark like those above, my mark is my love for those who cross my path, those in my family, those in my relationships, have I left a mark?  What kind of mark?  Is my mark on life Be remembered as a man who serves God as best he could, Loved his wife as the love God has given me to Love, Love My Kids, My Family and My Friends as Much as God loved me?  Will I be remembered, as those who might remember me in the future? Every time my name is mention be if a faithful man of God, a servient to man? Or as some of those above will I be remembered in bad terms, in disgust, How will I or You be remembered?

So as the people who have walked into and out of my life, I hope my life, Not all been the best life, I have hurt many, But I ask myself all the time, will I be remembered as truly a man of God, or as a man of complicity, and absent in peoples life, will I even be remembered at all,

In Traveling this country is my life making a difference or just making people glad I am gone.  I would encourage all who read this Blog, be determined to make your Legacy of Servant hood, and Love for all those around you. We only have one chance to live this life make it a great one…

DISH Not So Clean

Let it be known I have been with Dish in our motorhome , well since we purchased the motorhome in 2011, we have been faithful payers and we have been happy with the service. then in 2017 I went into a coma, then we called dish to put the service on hold for 6 months. thinking I would be cleared to travel. then after two comas, the last one in december I clled Dish when I got out and again informed them I would like to put our dish on hold until the fall of this year. then I received a deposit on my checking account as a refund from dish, as we had paid up front for the 6 months.. we called and got the run arround from dish. this is the conversation
5:59 PM
DISH,

How can I help you?

Please be advised that your account is Dish outdoor also pay in advance.
In dish outdoor account unfortunately, there's no option to put it on hold.

You, Not gonna happen.. You disconected me with out my permission. since I was in a coma not sure how I would have done that
Alyzaderzy, If you wish to suspend the account what will we do is to close it then activate it upon requesting to restart. I'm sorry to hear that.

You, I had it in my motorhome for over a year. used it till the 2016 I was told the account would be put on hold for 6 months at a time, when I called the last time they extended the service til september

Fall in Washington What Beauty


Well it is time of the year again, and though our Motor home is still in the shop, that does not stop us from doing some travel.. 
We love the fall colors in this state.  Some may say the northeast has great fall colors but we are taken away by the colors of Washington State in the fall. Diablo Lake.





There many places like Hwy 2 towards Winthrop











Or Winthrop itself

 Pearrygan Lake 










And who can forget the wonder of Hwy 20 North Cascades, and . Oh what a great journey
 We got so caught up in the beauty sometimes we forgot to take photos 




 The as we drifted into Leavenworth we had to go to Small woods and Prey's



Then there was 










 Then We had to Stop



Sorry Vermont, *though you may have beautiful fall colors) but you cannot beat these wonderful Colors to me

Roy Robinson RV

First I am here to say I am sorry I have not posted here for a while, I was hoping to post our travels this summer and fall. BUT since I was in a coma the end of last year, we have done no travels, Dr, says traveling was not recommended til they know what the problem was, since this is the third of these and two in one year..

We are hoping to do more travel next year.  until then we are working on the house and trying to get in shape, with PT and Dr. doing test
We want to say Thanks to Roy Robinson RV in Marysville, WA for the help they have been, we put the RV in the shop for the yearly Checkup and was we surprised. Air bags and other problems, they have been great.
Having said that, let me tell you about Good Sam extended warranty program, while I was in a Coma last year they cancelled our membership, after being members for years. And since I was in a coma I was unable to renew our membership. But now since we put the Motor home in the shop after we had to renew our membership, they would not cover over 4000.00 of damages,  so we are now, including new tires, we are our over 7000.00. Oh they reimbursed us 2500.00, since the damage was done before we put the RV in storage, we should have had the RV checked out before we put the RV in storage, but we did not know I would be in a coma then.  Anyway, We now are out 7000.00 dollars, 2600.00 for tires, the rest for repairs, My advice Read the small print , it says if you go into the hospital before the renewal date, they will not cover the damage even if it was done before you went into the hospital.

Anyway be careful where you purchase extended service. There may be exclusions.
Having said that, I would always recommend Roy Robinson in Monroe, WA for purchasing RV or Auto, They Care about their customers.  I have had other friends who I sent there and they are way happy with their autos.
Wishing you safe and joyful journeys
John..

New Motorhome

So , againist our better judgement, and THIS IS OWN US, We went to a motorhome dealer, we told them what we were looking for on the phone and through the e-mail.
We were told in no uncertain terms "we can do more than other dealers don't give up 2 weeks before you find the perfect motorhome"  So we finally went down to Fife RV , in Fife washington, Met with the Salesman we had been e-mailing since the first contact.  we were told they would work with us on getting t5he perfect rv. and that we coupld look at all the rv;s on the lot. 
So we arrived and ask for the salesame we had been e-mailing and talking to, (let me interject here, we were also contacted by a couple of other salesmen, sho also said they would work with us to get us in the RV we wanted.. which we sent them the followingHope the rv show went well.  We are still interested in the 2018 Coachmen Sportscoach RD 409BG if you still have it..  if not we will keep looking..
To which we received the message above.
After Talking to the salesman on the phone we felt confident we could make the deal. soi we drove to Fife, WA,,,70 Milea to look and see what thye had,, for some 70miles is not a problem , but witth my medical problems 70 mile in a car is right now is, (damage from injury while in the Army)When we arrived and met with the salesman, and the musical started, we did not get to see everything available, one of the motorhomes the steps would not let down, one we looked at had handles loose on the doors and looked like a 7 year old rv instead of a 2017 one. We finally ended up in and rv that did not have jwhat we were asking for , it had a bed over the driver, so no access to the cabinests above the drivers seat, no access to the TV over the drivers seat either.  it has a bench table and bench seating, not table and chairs as we had asked ofr. BUT we afgreed we could live with the table and chairs, but we did ask for the bed above the driver to be removed, and then the dance begin, would cost to much and even the salesman did not see what they put the let down bed so you could not access the cabinets..
After that another salesman was brought in, now we were being double teamed,  we talked and said it was not what we were looking for but maybe, still higher sales.  more promises...
then into the office, after a meal and then we were made more promises, yes we were given time to change our mids, then our orginal sales man came in and took our drivers licenses and went away, we did not get our licenses back until the deal was made..( now we were told on the phone this morning we could have left at any time, even thought they had our drivers license) from then on the salesman went away, and came back can you make this much of a down payment, then what if you make this much of a down payment, what if you make this much of a down payment,  we started out at 3000.00 with our motorhome trade, we went up to 6000.00 before we knew it and the action begin, one salesman after another and papers shoved in our face, told that "well it is one the paperwork , but they do not do that again, we will not do this to you"  
Then we left, feeling like we had jsut been rushed into something. so this morning, we called (Less than 24 hours after we signed the contract) and told them we were having buyers remorse, the financil advisor and our lawyer finally called us back and said it was not a good deal and with in 6 months we would be busted,  so we called the RV dealer and toild them we were having buyers remorse, told we have two choices, loose the 6000.00 dollars down payment or take the mortorhome if they coould find financeing,,, 
Fife RV is not a recommended RV dealer.. see my latter posrt... promised the moon and sold the lake front property in navada... we admit we did not read the small print, BE CAREFUL WHEN YOU BUY A VEHICLE THE SMALL PRINT CAN COST YOU...
We were promised a few things we will see if they live up to that...over driver head bed removed, Stain of the dinette coushin,and other items...
We wikll see, if they live up to the promises. if we get finances...
Stay away from Fife RV,

New Motorhome Search Beware


First of All I am sorry I have not been able to post on this blog for a while.  I have been in and out of the hospital and in a coma, my memory has suffered and I am finally getting better, but, as a result, I have not done much traveling.  We did make it up to a few mountains (see photo) Mt Baker Trip










We also did some short trips but nothing to write about, our motor home has been in storage, and until recently we have just been home bodies. But the good news come September we are back on the road again, God willing.

Just to fill you in we have been looking for a new RV, but have not found anything yet, We thought we had found one at a dealer in Everett, But when we went thru the process, and they were honest, they said no promise, but they would test the water and we were denied, so sad, because we really loved that RV.. (see photos) 




then we continued to look and found one in Tacoma, which we contacted, BUT when we contacted the dealer, we informed them that we had been denied, and gave them all the information about our present Motor home and we told them we had been denied by another dealer, BUT, and this is important,  we were told “ we can do better than the next guy. We have a very talented and persuasive finance department. “ so we went thru the process, and in the end they were not as talented as he thought they were. 





The reason we are looking for a newer one,  Ours is a 2003 Coachman, and we love our motor home, we have added a lot to it and did a lot of upgrades, BUT it is a 2003,  with very few miles and it is a diesel.

Anyway. To make a long story short we have learned when an RV dealer tells you that “We have very talented finance department”  run away…

Have a safe travels and be safe out there..

John
